Strong ties between 2025 year’s Nobel Laureates in Physics and Chalmers
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 has been awarded to researchers with close ties to Chalmers University of Technology: John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis. At Chalmers, research in quantum physics strongly resonates with the discoveries recognized by this year’s prize – and the laureates have strong ties to the national research program Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), coordinated by Chalmers.
“It’s of course fantastic that this year’s prize is awarded to pioneers in the field of quantum technology. It’s especially exciting that two of the laureates, John Clarke and John Martinis, have both been visiting researchers within WACQT,” says Per Delsing, professor in quantum technology at Chalmers.

Chalmers researcher wrote the first textbook on the field that is awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025
This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was about metal-organic frameworks, a new class of materials that opens doors to everything from carbon dioxide capture to extracting drinking water from desert air. At Chalmers, several researchers have leading expertise in the field. Professor Lars Öhrström has close connections to two of the laureates and is pleased that the area he has studied for 30 years is now receiving even more well-deserved attention
Nobel Laureate in Chemistry: Don’t wait – dare to start your research
Don’t wait for ideal conditions – they don’t exist. The sooner you get started, the faster you begin to learn. Don’t aim for perfect results; they will improve over time.
This advice was given by Professor Omar Yaghi, one of 2025 year’s Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry, to young researchers and students during a visit to the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers.
The Laureates and a rescued egg
Chalmers has a special tradition: every year, fifth-grade students are invited to try their hand at engineering by inventing and building a structure designed to protect a raw egg when dropped from a height of 15 metres – without breaking.
The winners of the competition get to share the stage with a Nobel laureate, receive a diploma, and have the opportunity to ask the laureate their own questions.
